giving up to the saloons the revenue derived
from them, and which to some extent repairs
the mischief they do
This is the situation, and The Voice" may
as we'll make an effort to comprehend it. The
Republican party may adopt the restriction by
population principle, but not certainly, as the
sole motive of legislation IL it is adopted II
will be simply as one provision in High
License bill The aversion Of the Prohibition
lists to revenue derived from the saloon is the
least tolerabc Of their ideas. There Is no
sense in the position, and it is emphatlcally In
the way OF the reform they profess to have at
heart 1t is entirely just, right and htt'ng
that the saloons should contribute, and con-
tribute largely, to the expenses of government
and especially Of criminal administration
There is no reason to believe that this view
will be abandoned by the great majority OF the
American people, whose intelligence fully per-
ccIvcs its equity and rcctitudc. The FRO
bibtionists arc kicking against wall when
they demand the surrender of the revenue
principle, and their organ is chargcablc with
insinccrity when, knowing the futllity OF the
propositon it tries to make 1t appear that IL
would favor, or not oppose" law restricting
the number Of saloons by population

concilable conflict which had opened even in
his day between the conservative forces OF
French democracy There had been unity of
action during his lifetime in several great
crises. While Theirs was leader Of the RepLb
lican Opposition during the trying period when
the rcactonary groups wee plotting rcstola-
ton of monarchy, there was complete con-
ccntraton Of forces. When he died and the
stability of liberal institutions was mcnaccd
by President NIacNIahOns Polignac Cabinet
Gambctta shouted from the tribune: Kcpub-
licans must be united-thcTc must be no dis
scnsions" Then there was peace because
leader who had sufficient political authority
with the nation to enforce his personal will
had issued the order with "a gesture Of command.
Gambctta until he became Premier gave direc-
ton to the activities of the Deputies and cstab-
lishcd an asccndcncy in Republican councils
like that once exercised by Dcak IN the Hun
garian Chambers lie has had no successor
since the futile cries for union were heard over
his bier in Pcrc la Chaisc.
There is a political reason for this lack Of
unity in party councils. The Opposition IN
France cannot be intrllStcd with power since
il is banded together for the overthrow Of cX-
listing institutions. The Republican ma jority,
comprising two-thirds Of the Chamber, is I'M
manageable from its size and naturally breaks
up into factions. II the Royalist group were
out Of the way. a system Of doublc-party gov
eminent would Immediately arise, based upon
conservative and radical tendencies in lcgiSla-
ton Radical Cabinet would be the logical
substitute for an OpportuniSt Cabinet, and the
I,n do hp al ixp
PrcmicrS Cabinets headed by mcdocrity and
recruited with clerks would not be known.
There would be an end Of factonal diSunion,
since there would be a direct issue between
parties with unity and harmony on each side.
in this way the rcactionary group obstructs
the orderly Development Of political govern
mcnt Republican dSunion is necessary evil
in the circumstances.

Mr.. Chandler confines his measure to those
States in which there has been open suppress

THE TROTLS>IOA1L PHOHIBIIIO NIST

DODGi.
"Thc Voice" having minated that It's party
might favor "a law restricting the number Of
saloons to one for every 800 inhabitants, TIE
1KIHU - observed that there Was no reason
why such principle should not be introduced
to Republican temperance legislation, but that
the proposition Of "1hc oicc' that the plan
Of restriction by population should supcrscdc
all license or other revenue laws was absurd
and implacticablc. We did not put much
faith in the sincerity Of The Voice" in any
part Of It's proposition, but gave IT an opportun-
lty to demonstrate IT'S integrity Of purpose if it
had any. The result docs not at all surprise
us. "Thc Voice" lodges and shrkS. as usual
1t returns TO the old tricI, of its tribe which is
TO pretend readiness to accept some proposal
which is prcpoStcrouS on It's face, but To reject
steadily every practical and altaInabIc measure.
II now virtually declares that the only cOnd-
ton under which It's patty would accept pop
ulation restriction is that the Ian be adopted
in the stead Of any revenue law; that is, AZ
TIE TRIBUNE pointed cut recently, THE
Voice" demands free rum for restricted num-
Der Of saloons.
Its attempt To get round this obvious fact is
by no means ingenious, either. 1t talks some
Irrelevant nonsense about providing heavy pen
alicS for the violation Of It's proposed rcstric-
ton law. OF course. that has nothing what
ever to do with the point made by TIE TkiB-
UNE. namely that in The Voices" plan all tho
saloons permitted to remain open would be
conducted on the basis Of free rum. The I'M
reason Of the Prohibition ways Of thinking has
seldom been more plainly exhibited. Here is
a Prohibition organ proposing law the effect
Of which would unqucstlOnably be to substitute
free rum for license and the organ actually
alleges gravcly that d" such measure would be
a step toward prohibitions" II is a melancholy
fact, however. that this is not an exceptional
illustration Of mental obliquity. 1t is quite Of a
pcce with the reasoning which cOnyinccs "Thc
Voice" that the best way to advance temperance
is to strengthen the "whSkcy party" as it
calls the National Democracy. But "Tho
Voice" should not assume that the Republican
party is on its knees, and that it seeks favors
from the third party. The case is quite diIlcr-
cnt The Republican party desires to forward
temperance, and it would willingly adopt any
rational and statcsmanlike measures TO that
end. But it has no disposition to follow the
lead Of impracticable fanaticism, and above all
it is determined that whatever restrictive
measures it adopts it will not stultify itself by

1t was understood that the meeting adj
dressed by the Mayor Of Toronto last night was
called to back up the resistance to movements
for opening the saloons on Sunday. The reso-
buttons unwisely covered much more extern
sive field. and advanced propositions from
which some and probably many of those whose
names were used in the matter were perfectly
known to dissent. No good cause profits by
this sort OF sharp practice.
